Errrrrr..... I guess that you mean that the energy of the waves is not 
deacresing as it should. Good observation. I gess that in such short 
clips Richie didn't care much. The wave script had to be created for the 
circumstance. Among other things, it is limited to a rectangular aquarium.

I'd say the fish. ;)
Seriously, it is off center, that's already something else and the fish 
attracting the attention it act in a similar fashion as other attention 
getters do in magic tricks. After all we are creating illusions ourselves.

See above.

For simple, regular geometrical shapes the script should be faily easy 
to adapt, I guess.

These are the very, *very* first test of that particular combination of 
softwares and tools. It has incredible potential. Here we see some very 
special application but already, for standard animation, the power and 
(relative) ease of Blender can be combined to the rendering power of POV 
  in a fairly straightforward manner. Not to neglect.

Thanks for the wise observations.
